Oh, Food!
“I don’t understand why people need to take pictures of their food and share them on social media.” My future son-in-law threw down the gauntlet. He didn’t realize that’s what he was doing, but my friend Todd Kruse, might’ve anticipated my reaction, having once mocked the use of #hashtags. I convinced Todd that hashtags and Twitter weren’t so silly or useless, after all; now, to demonstrate that there is a time and a place for foodie photos. I remember when people were ragging on selfies. I’d hoped we were past all that…
If nothing else, they’ll help fill in on cruel April days when writer’s block sets in; after all, we have to eat every day.
Fantasy
A place for the “what ifs” and “wouldn’t it be nice ifs.” What if unicorns suddenly appeared on the White House lawn and just stood there, staring intently at all the doors? Wouldn’t it be nice if people understood the difference between fear and respect? What if people were rated like products on social media? See the Netflix series, Black Mirror – season 3, episode 1: “Nosedive.” Discuss.
You were hoping for something more titillating? Feel free to suggest a topic.
Fiction
I haven’t written enough of this in far too long. While I’m not feeling up to Story a Day just yet, I hope to manage a short story or two during the month of April.
Social!
See what I did there? It’s an acrostic! What is blogging if it’s not social? The good folks at Blogging A to Z have done away with their Linky lists, but I see no reason why we have to! If you are participating in this year’s Blogging A to Z Madness, feel free to add a link below. You’ll need to add a link back to one of my posts – preferably the one where you first noticed the InLinkz code for A to Z. You can enter once a day through the month of April.
I hope that regardless of whether you’re participating in the Blogging A to Z Challenge or not, you’ll subscribe to this blog and follow along, and follow some of the links below to explore others’ blogs, and share your favorites on Facebook, Twitter, or wherever you hang out, with anyone you think may enjoy the posts.

Good morning, Holly. Your food presentation skills match your cooking prowess. 🙂 The three Fs make for an interesting theme. I must have gotten up on the stupid side of the bed this morning because I couldn’t discern the acrostic. Cool idea with the linky list! Some people are really missing that on the A to Z website. I plan on doing one more post before April 1st and will add your backlink there. One point of confusion; you say we may add new links every day? Does that mean there will be a new linky list for each letter of the alphabet? That might be a bit difficult to remember. Brilliant idea to get people reading your blog, though!

Thank you for being the FIRST to link up with my Linkythingy.
No, I’m NOT doing 26 or 31 separate InLinkz events. It means you can add up to one a day to THIS list. (I could spell it out, but that might make it too easy for spammers, if you know what I mean. You know how many days there are in April, right? Yeah – so, yeah. 😀 )
I know you’re an overachiever, so please do NOT add your links before they go live, or all at once if you post them all on April 1st. Deal?

Okay – I think I got it. Overachiever, perfectionist, pedant…yeah; the shoe fits, but I’m too old to change. 🙂 No worries; nothing will get posted ahead of schedule. I still have more the half the entries to write.

I’m a committed pantser, so this should be fun!
I tried to leave a comment on your blog, but kept getting the error “Conflict” whatever that means. I gave up. Others have been able to, so I’m not sure what’s up with that. Just wanted you to know.

Your comment came through, Holly and I replied. Sorry you had a problem.I don’t know what the conflict message was about. I’ll try to investigate.

FFF..Fantastic. Your food pictures are brilliant.
I know I’ll be missing a lot of fun, but I might just stop by and add links from the Non-Profit blog I plan to do the A to Z on. Let’s see how it pans out.
Good luck, Holly. But then you’ll ace it anyway.
